“You get a little bit desensitized to the noise,” she said. “You’re always hearing noises and sounds, but this is a little startling. But I’m almost glad we were oblivious to the fact of what was going on, because then you feel the need to get involved and who knows what can happen.”

The Kamloops RCMP Serious Crime Unit is investigating this matter and is asking that anyone with information to contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) to remain anonymous.

“The Kamloops RCMP is aware that there were several witnesses to this event and those persons are strongly encouraged to come forward as soon as possible,” adds Delorey.
